Vince Taylor

Vince Taylor was a British rock ‘n’ roll singer whose most famous song, “Brand New Cadillac,” is most widely recognized by The Clash’s cover on London Calling. When Taylor himself is recalled, it’s more often for his reputation as a leather-clad rebel rocker who went mad and was latterly the primary inspiration for David Bowie’s most enduring creation, the doomed extraterrestrial rock star, Ziggy Stardust.
